The Edmonton Bike Swap is back this Sunday, September 7, 2025, this 1 day nonprofit event is all about making cycling accessible while giving back to the community.
In my conversation with Chris from Alberta Bike Swap, he emphasized the heart behind this event: it’s not just about bikes, it’s about community. Every bike is tech-checked, serial number verified, and screened to prevent stolen goods from slipping through, making it one of the safest places to purchase a used bike in Alberta.
The impact is huge: over half of the proceeds go back into local programs like Sports Central and Bike Edmonton, ensuring more kids and families have access to safe, reliable bikes. As Chris shared, the swap has become a lifeline for families looking for affordable options and for cyclists who want to know their purchase is making a difference.
